Need some time off of that emotion of strain and bearing the pain of fighting the last result? Breaking through without the aid of fibre is one thing. Ripping a new hole on the wall, completely another. And it's not the easiest of patches to stitch up, if rumours from the emergency room are true.

When the blockage round the back gets a little more solid than usual, it's not the greatest of ideas to sing it like a Salt N Pepa hit. (Ah, push it!) Get up on this and watch for the dropping lungs.

Seen here in glorious 3D, Colossus from the cover of Marvel Comics' Uncanny X-Men #122. Where Mr Rasputin is having issues of self-doubt and to top it all off, having some trouble in the Danger Room.

Don't let your back room become your danger room. Everything has its time, and undue sudden pressure is liable to bring even the biggest down.

But if it is just all gas, think about bringing a lighter to the party.

 

Christmas time and it's the season of summer in Australia. A period where the many find comfort in walking aimlessly in the freezers everyone knows as shopping centres. They may sweat out and lose three kilos in the trek from their homes to the multi-level car parking facilities, but make no mistake. The winner is clearly the festive fun.

The loser is the water weight conscious. They who judge their lives on the bathrooms scales. The ones who see how much the bag of dates helped them lose. How far closer to rails they are now with the dodgy food court tastings. The ones who may take to drinking up to water load in times of competition weighing machines.

Care needs to be taken in which liquids go into the temple that is the body in times of staving off dehydration. Simple plain tap water will suffice. Recycled water even. Flat soda water isn't too bad. But stay away from the variety made of hops and barely or potatoes. Stuff which will take the eyes and swim them through what may very well seem like an endless bath of chlorine.

Which also is not a good thing to ingest on any basis, no matter the occasion.

 

Core Wildstorm fans will note no doubt that the lightening strikes are happening again. Bringing it back old school with Jim Lee over the head are the likes and squads of Gen¹³, The Authority and WildCATS.

It's a veritable death blow to sitting around on a rock waiting for that monkey to get back from his lunch break and clock back in shift.

Kicking up a storm of action, fanaticism and magic like Wildstorm on a Worldstorm surely unsettles something in the air. And when shifting sands of the environment are of concern, it's dust, pollen and all sorts of airborne particles floating up above the knee line.

For those who are nose and airway sensitive, that means a world of hay fever and emptied out tissue boxes/rolls. It is spring right now, and heading into summer, can only bring up more things to find their ways into the nasal cavities.

And if wearing a mask sounds like a good idea in keeping out the nasties, just know that they won't stop everything from seeping in.

 

Choppers like carrots wouldn't believe, it's Bugs Bunny at the baseball against the Gorillas from the classic "Baseball Bugs" episode of Looney Tunes.

Seventh inning, bases partially loaded and the wick of sweat rides the seams of the ball in the pitcher's glove. Night time and the sun is still out. Pitcher cranks it back, eyeing the third and second. The pitch and the batter swings. A screwball coming out of a fast and it connects... up, up and away...

Of course, if it happens that the ball smacks back a line into the mouth of the pitcher, that could leave a very bad smile in no time. Knocking it out of the park or knocking the teeth of the mouth... with teeth like Bugs, it's a hazard to play any game where the teeth are out in front.

In case of emergency, and if the teeth are out of the pocket by looseness or being broken, it's a vital step that the tooth in question remains moist. Drop it in a glass of milk, water or carry it to the dentist inside the cheeks. Of the mouth. Remember that it's important to not let it dry out.

 

Davy Jones, owner of that famous underwater locker so many overboard and lost sailors and pirates visit before their deaths.

Jones also happens to be the villain in the sequel, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp), it seems, made a deal and now the one with a beard of tentacles has come to collect on the debt.

And what of that monstrous beauty that is his beard? A flowing and dangling series of tentacles like last week's dive into the seafood buffet.

Tougher to take care of than a head full of dreadlocks, it's quite possible that one major point in care is making sure the tentacles don't dry out. Drying out is bad for normal hair. When you take partially living limbs in consideration, it's a vital message to massage.

And making sure other people don't go biting the beard is another.

 

Headaches. All the pain in the world located right inside the very confines of your skull. A pounding ache, a throbbing mess and there appears to be even faster and faster aspirins being made.

For the simple reasons, it's things such as environmental allergies, skipping a meal or two, or running more than your heart and head can take. On the weightier end, it could be anything from the liver kicking out, depression or some other systemic shut down.

Whatever it is, be mindful of the fact that your head is doing road works when the council workers are still on their five hour lunch break.

At the very least, consider yourself lucky if it does only turn out to be a headache. Don't lose your head (WARNING: GROSS) over your body's warning systems.
